LONDON: SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1838. The Sun of yesterday contained an account of a meeting at Glasgow of the Radical Association, f or the purpose of adoptin regulations and appointing g office bearers. The hall was crowded to overflowing. At this meeting the proposal to go for the repeal of the Corn-laws was scouted, as quite insufficient, and the Glasgow Argus was said to have again gone wrong in advocating that view. To join in the agitation to obtain a repeal of the Corn-laws, was said to be " frittering away their strength," and one of the principal speakers condemned the commendation of the Chairman for even pro io;ing to give the least assistanci to the Corn law a gitation. At the .same time the Corn-laws were denounced as " accursed," and one of the a rongcst reccmmendations of Universal Suffrage was, that without it they could not get the Corn-laws re- THE SUTN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1838. pealed, but with it the Corn-laws would be most cer tainly extinguished. Thus the exasperated people are driven, by the excessive and accursed injustice of the landlords and the tithelorde, boldly to aim at the overthrow of the Constitution. At the Glasgow meeting, not only Universal Suffrage was &mantled, but also the reduction of the national debt. That was described "as a robbery, to be got rid of as early as possible." The cry of the landlords, that they are overburdened with taxes, has found favour with the Glasgow operatives, and they seem disposed to make common cause with them in demanding the reduction of the national debt. The labourers feel, we are aware, the grievous burden which the taxes impose on them ; and we think they arc justified in endeavouring to get every possible reduction. If they were to ask that the whole burden of that debt should be thrown on the landlords, we should not much blame them. But in the landlords, who have long had all the legis lative power in their hands, by whose votes, and at whose recommendation, and for whose special advan tage this debt was mainly incurred—for they and their great allies, the so-called Christian Priesthood of the Established Church, were the great promoters and abettors of the war against the French Revolution, to preserve the power of the Aristocracy and of the Priesthood—in the landlords, grumbling at the debt, is condemning their own former profligate conduct, and seeking to get rid of it is a scandalous breaking of their own voluntary contracts. We are grieved, for the cause of justice and of truth, to see the operatives of Glasgow willing to aid in the spoliation, and to make common cause with those who now thrive, and have long thriven, by legally plundering them. We are not of opinion that the national debt, as the great mass of the taxes are paid by the Customs and Excise, which fall far heavier on the townspeople than on those who, like the farmers, mainly subsist on their own produce, which pays no Customs' duties, and is only partially sub ject to the Excise—we are not of opinion that the national debt is a greater hindrance to our farmers, in competing with foreign farmers, than it is to our manufacturers in competing with foreign manufacturers ; and:we are sure that the aboli tion of the Corn-laws would: so increase the resources of the country, as to make the burden of the national debt comparatively light. But letting that differ ence of opinion between us and the operatives at Glasgow pass, we see in their declaration against the national debt, a trumpet sound of defiance, which will rouse into active exertion against the Universal Suffrage men the great mass of the middle classes. Such a pro ceeding does not confirm the opinion generally enter tained here of the sagacity and good sense of the Glasgow workmen, and which, we know, made a powerful and even alarming impression on all those who heard the evidence given by the Glasgow cotton spinners before the Combination Committee. But letting that too pass, it seems to us more important to direct public attention to the fact, that the whole of our Constitution, and even the existing legal right of pro perty, is seriously threatened and endangered by the mad injustice of continuing the accursed Corn-laws. They exasperate the people, and provoke the attack on all our institutions. And though it may be possible to put down the Universal Suffrage men—yet we must at the same time state, on excellent authority, that they are very numerous, and their organization is complete— still the property and the prosperity of the country will 'be shaken and greatly damaged by the trial. Feelings of great bitterness towards the upper classes, and towards all the proprietary classes, and feelings of deep mistrust in the Legislature —the source of all our institutions—have been ' generated by the obstinate adherence of the law-making landlords to their scheme of taxing and plundering other classes by means of the Corn-laws. Their example encourages emulation ; and though we almost dread whether it he not now too late to pre vent a serious commotion in the empire, nothing even can save it from great disasters (fur it would be a great disaster to bring the proprietary and working classes into conflict), but that all those who possess property, and who do not profit by the accursed Corn-laws, should at once step forward and demand their repeal. There seems no choice between the abolition of the devil's laws—well are they worthy of that name—and exposing all the institutions, and all the property and prosperity of the country to the imminent hazard of a conflict be • tweets the most numerous and most useful classes in the community. We see in the Coventry Herald and Ob server of yesterday an account of a meeting of the Chartists at that city on Monday, but we are pre vented from inserting it, even in an abridged form, be cause it seems drawn up in rather an unfriendly spirit. The meeting is said to have consisted of not more than 2,000 persons ; and it is described as occasionally threat ening serious collision. The principal speaker was Mr. FEA RGUS O'CONNOR, and after him Mr. SALT, one or a deputation fin Birmingham. At this meeting the national petition for the Charter was unanimously adopted. The banners bore such inscriptions as these, on one side :—" Universal Suffrage, and Ch eap Bread ;" on the other, " Cheap Law, Cheap Religion, and Cheap Money," Here again we trace the Corn laws in conjunction with an agitation— if not its parent —to pull down much of what is established. W e should feel these things as of less importance provided we knew any persons anywhere, in Parliament, or out of Parliament, who entertain and avow a convictien that the majority of our institutions, including, of course, the Church and the House of Peers, are based on the laws of eternal justice, and are not men ly the offspring of chance and expediency, with no , • , other authority to support tnem tnan that— which we rescri ►ptidmit to be a high authonty— se of on, antip habits and customs of the the no longer exists. people. But this high author:L."- Recent great chancres have destroyed all the rn'LliuritY cr of prescription ; and the great masses of the com munity who meet at Birmingham, Glasgow, Coventry, and the metropolis, expressly declaring ureic animosit y towards our institutions, and seeking to set them aside, prove that those institutions have no longer any support in their habits and sentiments. Not being founded on justice, and no longer supported by habit and prescription, we cannot but conclude, though the Government and the upper classes seem to slumber in quiet security, that such meetings as we have now adverted to, and such doctrines as have at them been delivered are of intense importance, and pregnant with vast consequences. If out of them should grow great disorder, and even revolution, tire Corn laws, which respect no property, and are only tire legal expression of the selfish and dishonest desire of wealth in the landowners, will be the seed of these bitter fruits. In another column will be found a letter from the in defatigable Member for Greenock, Mr. WALLACE, on the important subject of Post-office Reform, to which we invite general attention. Mr. WALLACE'S evi dence, prepared for the Committee on Postage, only reached us this morning ; but we shall endeavour to find room for it in The Sun of Monday or Tuesday next. Our City article, entitled " Price of Sugar," au p. p li e s an excellent illustration to-day of fot t i o r t fi h s a c t al g l r a o ,, w vg n . The duty on foreig n coffee as compared in the West Indies is so great , that our merchants suppose it will lie advantageous to import coffee here from Cuba, next send it to the Cape of Good Hope, unship and re-load it, and then brim* it hither and sell it as the produce of our own colonies. In other words the difference of du! v which is given as a bounty to cur West India planters is so enormous, that it pays the expense of sending the coffee more than half round the globe to evade it. So it is with timber, which has been sent from Norway to Canada, and then imported here as Canada timber, greatly to the advantage of the merchants. The expense and labour wasted on the voyages of two ships, one coming from Cuba to England, and going from England to the Cape of Good Hope and back, unloading and re loading ; and the other going from Bergen to Canada, unloading timber there, and reloading it and bringing it to England, may be taken as indexes, for something similar takes place in every department of industry, to the immense losses, the immense waste of property and to industry, which are annually inflicted on the com munity by our wretched system of fiscal regulations. Mr. POULETT THOMSON took office to amend this system, but he seems to have occupied it only to pre vent the exertions of some abler, more energetic, and better disposed man. The letter from the Cobbett Cub, which we in sert elsewhere, is a full answer to those who, like Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR at Coventry, speak against The Sun, because it prefers what it is honestly con vinced are the best interests of the working classes to giving importance to a few ambitious demagogues. We are happy to be able to quiet the alarm which (according to the Morning Herald, expressed in an article which we borrow), seems to prevail of an out break on the Ist of August at Jamaica, by stating that an arrival from that island has reached England of a date posterior to the Ist. Letters are in town from Jamaica, dated August 3, which state that all was then peaceful and rejoicing. The people, it is expressly said, were quiet and well disposed. We have no fear of mischief from conferring freedom and doing justice ; it is instituting or upholding slavery, and doing injustice, which breed riots, convulsions, and great calamities in society. Madrid Journals to the Ist instant inclusive have reached us, but they bring no intelligence beyond what was contained in the French Papers of Wednesday. Lisbon Papers of the 31st ult. have reached us this morning. They contain very little in the shape of news. The Count DAS ANTAS has published an ad dress, presented by him to the QUEEN, protesting against the rumours afloat of his connection with the Chartists, and reiterating his former declarations in favour of the Constitution. The following address from the British Merchants in Lisbon to the Consul, relative to the re-establishment of a British Civil and Naval Hospital in that capital, calls for the prompt attention of Lord PALNIERSTON " LISBON, AUG. 1838. Sir,—We, the undersigned British merchants established in this city, beg leave to request your attention to a subject which we think of importance. "The British hospital in this city, which was built by the late Mr. Gerard Devisme, a member of the British factory, having by the repeal of the Contribution Act been left without any fund for its support, was closed in December, 1825. Con sequently, the seamen and other distressed British subjects, who till then had been received and treated there, have since been sent to the Portuguese Hospital of St. Joseph. Having ascertained, from repeated inquiries, that this arrange ment is productive of very grievous suffering to the parties, both from their ignorance of the Portuguese language and the neglect with which they are generally treated, and wishing to remedy this inconvenience, and contribute towards the comfort and speedy cure of the patients, wo feel desirous of re-establishing the hospital on its former footing ; to which end we propose to raise a moiety of the ex penses by voluntary subscriptions (amongst ourselves) and from the merchant vessels frequenting this port, if her Ma jesty's Government will, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of the 6th George IV., cap. 87, sec. 11 and 12, be pleased to grant the other moiety of the expenditure, with Permission to convert the hospital, hitherto vacant, to the purposes for which it was built, one moiety of the ground rent of which we have continued to pay since the year 1825. We, therefore, beg you will lay this our retresen tation before Lord Viscount Palmerston in the confident hope that his Lordship will be pleased to sanction the means proposed, more particularly as we unierstand that her M.ijes ti's Government allow the sum of 1001. per annum to b.! paid iu aid of be fonds raised at Oporto for the support of the Bri tish hospital in that city. " We are, Sir, your obedient servants, &c. " Jeremiah Meagher, Esq. Her Britannic M.ijesty's Acting Consul, Lisbon." The Paris Journals of Thursday are destitute of all interesting intelligence. The Debats publishes a correspondence between General BUGEAUD, the pro secutor of General BROSSARD at Perpignan, and M. BOINVILLIERS, General BROSSARD'S advocate, in which M. BUGEAUD complains that the Learned Counsel overstepped the line prescribed by legal usage to attack his character. This is denied by M. BorNvtrA, (Ens, who, ho wever , d e clines to give M. BUGEAUD any further sa ti s f act i on b e f o re lie has ren dered his client all th e ass i stance i n his power in conducting an appeal from the sentenv of the Court Martial. From a report of the proceedings it is but too plain that General BUGEAUD did not enter the Court with clean hands, and consequently, that he now dreads the disclosures which he himself was the first to provoke, in order to accomplish the ruin of a military rival. General BUGEAUD early obtained the reputation of an expert duellist, an d it is sa:d that his personal courage has more than once prevented disclosures which would have cast an indelible stain upon his moral character. I n (Vending General BROSSARD, I\i. I3oINVIt, Lit is undertook to show that his client, though less prudent, was not more guilty than the military Nitnesses who gave evidence against him ; and in the opinion of nine-tenths of the people of Franco the Learned Advocate was quite successful. But the im portant question that suggests itself is, Win these dis closures lead to a change, of system in the military government of French Africa ? We fear not. The plunderers may fight about the division of the spoil, hut there will be no restoration of property, no cessa tion of wrong, to the plundered. The Swiss question continues to be very intempe rately discussed in th e F renc h Mi n i ster i a l J ourna l s.

TituNDER-STORM AT PARlS.—Tuesday o „ e _• eg m 4 violent storm of thunder and hail broke over the capital about half past six. The day had been ushered in by thunder and light ning, with partial heavy showers in the morning, and the heat was oppressive during the afternoon- 4 hailstorm occurred at about half-past five, but did not last long ; h., an he ur after, however, the clouds, which were heaped in majestic masses, driving heavily before a south-'south-west wind, discharged their electric eontentF, and a violent precipitation of hail en sued. The stones, many of which were nearly as large as a small walnut, were flattish sp!teroidal hodins eryst4ilipd round a well-defined centred nuci!cus in concentric layers. A cross current of clouds appeared at the same time to be taking nearly a northerly direction. We do nut yet know the full extent of the damage occasionei ; but in the north-western part of the capital the sky lights of private houses, and especially o f the passages, suffered considerably. In tbe rasage Vivienne, the Galerie d'OrleanS, in the Palais Royal, and other places, where a large extent of unprotected' . glass was exposed, the panes were knocked all to pieces. In the Passscre Choiseul, cn the contrary, hardly a pane was damaged. The lightning wi.s not particularly vivid, though the detonations caused by it were exceedingly low!. A little after eight, and at eleven o'cloi k, ' t.t.v o other sharp storms came on, and the rain poured for ten minutes; the lightning, too, displayed its fucked horrors in the zenith and towarJs the north ; and the narrowest streets were at times perfectly illuminated by the blue light of the electric discharges.— Galignane's Messenger. M. Arago has announced that M. Walsh has within these few days indistinctly perceived the cornet which makes its re turn every three years, and is to be visible in the course of the present month. The Director of the Observatory at Breslau was, however, enabled as early as 18th August. to make some observations respecting this luminary. M. Arago suggests that it would be interesting to inquire at this opportunity into the truth of the opinion of M. Walsh, that the diameters of comets diminish in proportion to their proximity to the sun, Galignani. MURDER OF A PRIEST. —A cure of the environs of Ajaccio, who was greatly beloved by his parishioners, was assassinated on the festival of St. Louis whilst in the act of performing mass at the altar. His marderer fired two musket shots at him in succession from behind one of the pillars of the church. The first shot only wounded the victim the second extended him a corpse on the steps of the altar.— Galignani's Messenger. An Italian Correspondent of the Courrier Francais states that Prince Metternich and M. Thiers have had an interview. They met on a terrace at Como, and the French statesman paid a visit next day to the Austrian Minister. The following lines, extracted from the Journal du Havre, may give an idea of the irritation that prevails among the merchants of that town :—" It is affirmed that M. Martin (du Nord) far from giving up his proposed visit to Havre will very shortly arrive in our town, If the Minister of Commerce is at all anxious to meet with a brilliant reception among us, we think it our duty to inform him that he could not have made a more unfortunate choice of the moment to honour us with his presence. In the paroxysm of the crisis in which our colonies and our seaports are now placed by the protection afforded to beet-root sugar, M. Martin du Nord might have reason to fear that the merchants of Havre would let him hear language very different from that which was addressed in 1834, to M. Thiers, when M. Martin's young predecessor held out to our maritime commerce promises which have been so strangely fulfilled." Is was re - ported on 'Change that the King had suddenly arrived from Eu, but on inquiry the news proved to be false. The Madrid Gazette concludes an answer to some attacks made on the Press, with the following remarkable phrase : " As for an arrangement, it is impossible, and such a word has never been spoken in the sense ascribed to it by the ad versaries of the Government. Victory alone will decide the principal questions ; as for the secondary question, there are some on which an arrangement may be made—such, for in stance, as the fueros of the Biscayan provinces. This is one of the cases respecting which the Government may and ought to be sparing of the blood of our brave defenders." The Semaphore, which announces the conclusion of a com mercial treaty between Turkey and France, says further : " One of our correspondents at Constantinople writes to us that France and England have again promised the Porte that no infraction of the treaty of Kataget should take place. In the course of the 16th a diplomatic courier arrived from Vi enna. The instructions of which he was the bearer, on the part of Prussia and 'Austria, direct the representatives of those powers to give to the Porte analagous guarantees of the main tenance of the status quo, and of the intention of the Prus sian and Austrian Cabinet to unite with France and England to prevent any interruption of peace."—Le Commerce.

HANinuaGn, SEL'T. 3.--A letter from Berlin in the Humburgh Correspondent speaks of culpable association,: which the Government of Posen is said to have discovered. They are said to hate been set on foot by French emissaries. The ppers of several Poles studying in Berlin, who are absent eu-in;; the vacation, have been seized. We knaw that the Eqglish Journals lately spoke of a conspiracy in Poland against the Russian Government, which WAS said to have been disco vered and revealed to the Russian Government by that of France. The same letter, which remarks that Archbishop Dunin persists in his opposition to the Government, gives like wise the netvs, which is mentioned in the South German Jour nals, that the Prussian troops, both in Posen and Westphalia, are to be considerably reinforced. In consequence of a Minis terid order of the 13th of August, the Senate of Leipsic has prohibited and confiscated the histotiosl essays of Professor Oervit.us, lately published at Carlsruho.

A feeling of this kind was well known to subsist between the Ist Foot Guards and the 15th Hussars, the result of some old affair in Holland, and t he men used to call each other " Old Eyes" and " Young B ye s,it as a symbol of this old alliance beitveen them, though it was vain to seek an explanation of these familiar appella tions from those who 'lied them. At one of the great en campments on the Curragh, shortly after the Irish rebellion, one of the regiments, arriving at its appointed ground, pro ccdd, the mement they were disNissed, to attack, first with fists and then with bayonets, the adjoining regiment, and a tu mult arose, uhich was on the point of producing fatal acci dents, had it not been promptly quelled by the exertions of the officers. On inquiry it turned out that the assailants enter tained an old grudge against their unconscious neighbours, for h av i n g, as they believed, deserted them at the battle of Cre eldt, nearly 50 years before.— United Service Journal.

The length of imprisonment is thus rendered proportionate to the amount of debts contracted:—One year's imprisonment for debts not exceeding 500 f. (201.); two years' imprison ment for debts not exceeding I,ooof. (40/. ); three years' im prisonmeat for debts not exceeding 3,000 f. (1201.) ; four years' imprisonment for debts not exceeding 5,0001. (2001 ) ; Ave years imprisonment for any debts exceeding 5,000 f. No term of imprisonment, even if the debts amount to millions, can exceed five years. These laws have received, by a new Act passed in April, 1832, several modifications and amend ments relative to foreigners.—Sherweed's Monthly Miscellany. (GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) THE ROBBERY AT EDINBURGH.—Lyon Bernhard, who was remanded yesterday, was again brought up. Sarah Gear, chambermaid at l'onson's Hotel, in the Haymarket, stated that she went to her situation on the 7th May, and thoroughly cleaned the rooms on the Bth. The prisoner was there shortly afterwards, but she could not speak positively as to the time. He slept there two nights. He could not have been there until after the 8 11 ' May. Thomas Monteith, the waiter, produced the books kept at the inn, but nothing could be gathered from them favour of the statement made by the prisoner. Witness could not state that the prisoner was there before the 11th May. Sir JOHN KEY said that the prisoner was at Ponson's Hotel some time in May there could be no doubt ; but it certainly was not until after the Bth. The robbery vta g committed on that day, and it was very possible that the prisoner might be in London on the 11th. The evidence produced was certainly not sufficient to prove an alibi. One of the witnesses stated that the robbery was cote' mitted between one and two o'clock, and that the mail left Edinburgh about four, so that the prisoner might have se t off almost immediately afterwards. Sir JOHN KEY remarked that the prisoner said the othe r day that he had been at York. Prisoner—That was 18 months since. Sir JOHN KEY—But you were at Glasgow. How did you get there, if you did not pass through York ? Prisoner—l went from London to Liverpool, and from Liverpool to Glasgow. Sir JOHN KEY inquired if the prisoner had any other evidence to prove an alibi. The prisoner replied that he had, but his witnesses were not in town. Sir JoHN KEY said he was under the same impression as he was yesterday, that the prisoner was the person win' had committed the robbery, for he had been clearly ide n : tified as having been in Edinburgh, and it was also proveol that he had attempted to commit several robberies here. He must, therefore, be removed to Edinburgh, to be dealc with by the authorities there. The prisoner was then handed over to James 111‘Kenzi° , one of the Edinburgh officers, who was in attendance.
